What is the official law/guidelines about people crossing the road and cars. Does the pedestrian always have right of way etc??? Or does the driver have to ensure that it is always safe etc to proceed in th erad???

cheers

I know that the pedestrian has right of way even in extreme circumstances...

*Sonic*

except when they cause an accident (ie get run over) and it is deemed to be them at fault, and the driver completly exhonerated of any blame

Pedestrians crossing at a junction have right of way over vehicles turning into the junction

NACRO

I always let pedestrians go whether they have the right of way or not. Unless of course by doing that I'm likely to get smashed into by someone not expecting courtesy in this day and age.
The way I look at is I'm in a potentially lethal object and need to exercise care and good manners when driving it. Takes only a second of my time and creates good feeling all round.

yep the man is right , only at junctions though , they can't just step into the road where they feel like it !!
